Vermilion man cited after suspected drug overdose

LORAIN -- Bryan Neiding, 19, of Vermilion, was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia after Lorain police found him unresponsive in a parked car following a suspected heroin overdose about 8 p.m. Thursday. LifeCare used Narcan, a drug to counter opiate overdoses, to treat Neiding, police reported.

A friend told police he was giving Neiding a ride home when Neiding said he needed to stop and buy heroin; after that, they parked at the Burger King at 2224 Leavitt Road where Neiding injected himself. Neiding then began to act out of character and passed out. In the car, officers found a metal spoon wrapped in foil and a syringe, police reported.
